    The whole idea of a credit card is to ensure you have a traceable line of credit if you trash the car.

    Have you ever tried to hire a car with just a wad of cash? "Really you want to rent our 16,000 thousand pound car, with 500 quid cash, no security or anything else"?

    you can..... I have here and abroad...... never a huge issue...

    No you can. You usually need to leave a large sum around €500 or so. Or alternatively you can dock the amount from a credit card or debt card, and have the amount returned to the card at a small or no fee once the card is returned.

    The latter is the sensible choice obviously as it means you do not need to carry a large amount of cash on you. And if you are only planning on doing some driving to a friends wedding or social event, plan on obeying the rules of the road, not speed, nor drink and drive it's a no brainer. If on the other hand you think a speeding ticket in another EU country is the greatest outrage in the world...
